Job Openings

Lead Instructor (Lead-in-training): Seattle, Bellevue

Assistant Instructor: Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond

QUALIFICATIONS
We seek creative and enthusiastic teachers who have a genuine interest in using technology to create and invent things, such as computer games, animations, circuits and more. A teaching certificate is nice, but not required.

Do you have experience working with kids, in the classroom or in extracurricular activities?

Do you enjoy creative problem-solving, puzzles and figuring out how to make things work?

Have at least 4 hours per week available during after-school hours (2:00 – 5:30 pm)?

Looking for a summer job, half or full days?

DO I NEED CODING and ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE?
Teaching skill and experience comes first, computer programming comes second. Why? Because teaching is harder than coding. We will teach you to code, but you should have a keen interest in problem-solving, critical thinking and enjoy learning to code and tinkering as much as kids do!

CURRENT NEEDS
We are growing fast and have requests to teach at more Seattle, Redmond and Bellevue schools, but we don’t have enough teachers in those areas. We’d love for you to join our team so we can reach more students.

BACKGROUND CHECK
An extensive background check is required, along with references. The schools where we teach may require their own separate background checks. Child safety comes before all other considerations in hiring.

APPLY

We encourage Teachers, Tutors, Students and Parents to apply!

Send us an email at Jobs@TechVentureKids.org describing your recent work / volunteer experiences with kids and a brief description of your computer experience/skills and which position you are interested in (Lead or Assistant, City).

Testimonials

I connected states to make code for Dash. Now I can try and invent new things for my robot to do.

Anoushkaage 11

Graphical programming makes my robot move, sing and dance. The most fun was when we made Dash a juggernaut.

Austinage 8

In this class I learned that we can code computers and robots. My robot can do cool stuff like dance and react to sound.

Akankshaage 8.5

I love how we can make him (Dash) a talented robot and teach him to do what we want.

Gabrielage 8

It was hard to find all the right pieces to build the kit. It was easy to explore the maps and I want to explore all of them!

Jackson A.age 9

It was really challenging to hook up the circuits, I had to try a lot of times before it worked.

Quinn D.age 9

You can add your imagination to a really big game (Minecraft) and make it more fun.In future, I would really like to run a company like Apple.

Manavas V.age 10

I like it a lot. It is a lot of fun! But I wouldn't accept the role of a teacher because I don't like teaching.

Ethan Y.age 9

I like modding and messing up with coding blocks. I love to show people what I've done. I love this Minecraft club so much I am even writing a book report on Minecraft education. I wish we could make the class longer.

Peishan P.age 10

I am going to recommend this (Minecraft MODs) to my friends as it is a very nice way to learn to mod. I like the way you get to create new mods.I really think this is a perfect MOD club.

Conner R.age 9

I would like to make this class (Minecraft Mods) longer because it's fun.

Emily L.age 9

You will learn a lot of cool modding stuff if you joined this club. You would literally break the physics of Minecraft. I would love to come back to this club again.

Edward R.age 9

This (Minecraft Mods) club was good. You should mess around with your mod to see if it works. I knew a lot of the stuff already but this club helped me learn more advanced commands and understand coding a little deeper. I loved it.
